WELL GUYS, SORRY IT’S BEEN A WHILE… HERE’S AN UPDATE FOR EVERYONE.
I came off over the summer and lost quite a bit. I worked at a bar and didn’t get out of work until 3-4 am every night I worked… slept all day the next day… my diet was shit, I didn’t work out but 10 times over the summer. And I was off steroids, I lost a ton… I don’t even want to tell you all how low I dropped… I was down to around 192 at the beginning of this semester of college. basically lost my 2nd cycle’s gains.
I realized how much I’d let myself go, and started hitting the gym and my diet hard again. I trained for about 6 weeks naturally, got up to about 200 naturally, and hopped back on.
I have been on since October 1st, basically. At the end of twelve weeks… well… (beginning of oct - end of dec = 12-13 weeks)
1-12/current Testosterone @ 800
3-12/current Deca @ 300-600 (started at 600 but hated the suppression of sex drive, dropped it to 300)
7-11 Dbol @ 40 mg /day
Starting at ~200 @ 13% bodyfat, I am currently at:
235 @ 13-14% bodyfat
Bench: estimated 350 (switched over to higher reps)… 3x10 looks like: 245x10, 255x10, 265x10… can do 315x5
Squat: roughly 400… again, I’m doing high reps
Deadlifts: Haven’t been doing them that much lately, maybe once every 10 days
Current measurements:
Arms: 18.125"
Neck: 18"
Chest: 48"
Quads: 26.5"
Calves: 16" (eek)
Still wear a size 34 jean… now I wear a 2XL shirt… haha.
I will try to get some pics up, but I’m traveling with my family for the holidays… I had some downtime so figured I’d post up on T-Nation.
My plan is to continue running about 800-1000 mg of test per week, and the deca at 300 mg. I’m running hcg @ 500 iu’s per week still… no testicular atrophy.
I’m going to stay on until may probably… a long cycle…
I may enter an NPC novice competition in april, but I’m not sure I can be ready by then.
I’d like to put on about 10-15 more lbs and then cut down to around 220-225… maybe enter the competition if I can get there by april, if not, no big deal… but that’s my goal.
sorry I don’t have pics for you guys, give me a few days.[/quote]
Hey KVA,
Yeah it’s been a long time indeed. Don’t sweat the down time, life seems to happen to all of us, interfering at it’s own whim and that’s just the way it goes. Muscle memory is a beauty, and I’m sure you’ll continue to progress to bigger and better things now.
I didn’t talk much with you before, but always followed your thread which was entertaining and fun to read. You accomplished quite a bit imo, and have a good head on your shoulders.
Good luck on the comp, keep us informed of things. You may well want to keep an eye on your health if you decide to keep running all of the goodies till May. Safe is good, sorry isn’t, as you know. I would say to check blood levels while you’re on the run.
The best of luck to you dude.

thanks man i appreciate it.
i won’t be running everything til may, just test obviously. i’m probably going to drop teh deca within a few weeks, take a few off from anything besides test, maybe even cruise at 300, then hop on a low dose of tren ace to lean out for the comp.
not really preoccupied with winning, just want to get my taste of competition
thanks again for all of your help, to all of you… without you all’s advice, and some of your support, i would probably have screwed something up.
